Quickest route is not always my route. It would be great to download Google Map Routes to Magellan GPS units. (including the entry level models). Google Maps routes are very easy to set up by point and click with the mouse. (No addresses needed). Then with mouse grab and drag route legs to place on road of my choosing. The fun route! I am looking for the feature of user selected arbitrary routes with turn by turn instructions. This would allow me to make routes like RAGBRAI in Iowa
